2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE
2-1. Indoor Unit
AVOID:
●
areas where leakage of flammable gas may be expected.
●
places where large amounts of oil mist exist.
●
direct sunlight.
●
locations near heat sources which may affect the
performance of the unit.
●
locations where external air may enter the room directly.
This may cause “sweating” on the air discharge ports,
causing them to spray or drip.
●
locations where the remote controller will be splashed with
water or affected by dampness or humidity.
●
installing the remote controller behind curtains or furniture.
●
locations where high-frequency emissions are generated.
DO:
●
select an appropriate position from which every corner of
the room can be uniformly cooled.
●
select a location where the ceiling is strong enough to
support the weight of the unit.
●
select a location where tubing and drain pipe have the
shortest run to the outdoor unit.
●
allow room for operation and maintenance as well as
unrestricted air flow around the unit.
●
install the unit within the maximum elevation difference
above or below the outdoor unit and within a total tubing
length (L) from the outdoor unit as detailed in the installation
manual packed with the outdoor unit.
●
allow room for mounting the remote controller about 3 ft.
off the floor, in an area that is not in direct sunlight nor in
the flow of cool air from the indoor unit.
●
The elevation ((Slim) Concealed Duct) between the bottom
unit and the floor surface should be at least 8 feet.
●
If the elevation ((Slim) Concealed Duct) between them is
less than 8 feet, install a filter (optional/field supply) or a pro-
tective device (field supply) not to touch the electrical parts
or fan with hands.
●
The air intake and outtake openings should be provided with
the same location of a room.
NOTE
Air delivery will be degraded if the distance from the floor to
the ceiling is greater than 10 ft.
